Demonstrators across the country and the globe will protest against Donald Trump on Saturday at over 3,000 planned events.

Millions are expected to gather across the country and around the world on Saturday for a third round of “No Kings” protests against Donald Trump. Organizers predict that it will be the “single largest non-violent day of action” in American history.

Saturday’s “No Kings” marches, of which there are more than 3,200 planned across all 50 states and several continents, come as Trump faces increasing scrutiny over the war with Iran, the rising cost of gas and how his administration has executed its mass deportation agenda.

“Since the last No Kings [protests], we’re seeing higher gas prices and groceries, all while there’s an illegal war in Iran,” Sarah Parker, a national coordinator for the group 50501, told reporters Thursday on a national press call previewing Saturday’s events.

    Almost like getting together with other outraged people, like perhaps at a protest, would be a better place to meet people with whom to discuss those plans? Or do we just want resistance cells to spontaneously generate from the aether without any prior networking?

      You can’t fucking organize shit at these protest. They already getting premmision and only allow at certain time and place. No one hiding faces and no prepping is happening. Just bunch people holding funny signs on a Saturday. Then they spend all week acting like they made a difference.

      My plan can’t be done here on fucking internet and fucking phones allowed. My plan will be illegal as fuck.

        In both my experiences, once the “main group” left, there were people more aligned towards… non “allowed” “methods of liberation”.

        I can tell you went to neither. You say you can’t talk online because it is too dangerous, but also won’t go to the concentration of people angry for the same reasons to talk about it. Is your plan to be a lone wolf? Because one asshole with a good drone that wipes out even ideally, like, musk, bezos, zuck, trump, 5 supreme court justices, hegseth, vance, thiel, you still haven’t solved it if you were a lone asshole with a lucky drone. The problem is more systemic. Continuing pressure is necessary. Groups. Organization, which begins somewhere.

      Wait, that works? Fuck me, we’re doing it all wrong! All this organizing, showing up, and doing shit seems worthless when we can just wait!
